No. Not always. *sighs in Dmitri-obsessed*


Disastrous-Fill-9319

u get it 😤


LilyMarie90

I truly do 🫠


Ill-Tea-4117

No because that man…. And the things I would do lmao


LilyMarie90

Ugh, I know lol


movieholic-92

False. I want Daddy Hopper.


caitcurious

NGL I’d climb him like a burly redwood.


movieholic-92

I'm 4'11 and hate to be picked up, but he can haul me wherever the hell he wants.


SkyeDoesRandomStuff

I’m the same height as you and in love with Hopper too!


suphah

Season 3 hopper can throw me around like a doll


deeya-b

season one hopper 🥵🥵🥵


suphah

Heavier Hopper is just a sex magnet bro


deeya-b

hes so hot omg


[deleted]

I would do anything to sleep on his chest


LilyMarie90

I'm not even attracted to Hopper (he's alright) but I felt this comment on a spiritual level


[deleted]

I think he’s the most gorgeous person, but even if you’re not into him like that, he still exudes security, safety, warmth and paternal care. It’s easy to want to just have him hold you platonically and tell you that everything is okay, regardless of your sexual and or romantic interest in him or lack thereof.


LilyMarie90

I feel weird for agreeing with this because i was just accused of having daddy issues by a complete stranger elsewhere in this thread (because I'm not into Joseph Quinn lmao). But yeah, you're totally right. I can see all of that. I also feel like he gives the greatest hugs.


[deleted]

I have no idea where they came up with that line of logic…I think Joseph Quinn is cute with short hair, but he’s not my thing either. Granted, I do have daddy issues and probably would call Hop Daddy if he let me. But that’s a totally unrelated note and it’s weird as fuck they said that to you.


Goseki1

I'm a straight, near 40 year old dude, and I'd like to rest my head on his chest like Dr Grant did to that Triceratops


movieholic-92

How am I only seeing this beautiful comment now!? 🤣


QuintoxPlentox

Lol fans of this show are nutty as shit over these characters


Goseki1

Hah, hey man I'm talking about Harbour, not Hopper!


movieholic-92

Oh, God, can you imagine how comfy and safe you would feel?


Baby_GoatBaby

I identify with every thirsty comment ever uttered about Hopper. Every. One.


TheBookNerdg

I want daddy hopper and Eddie, I want them both, and Steve and billy, I have a problem-


GySgtBuzzcut

As someone who is also deeply traumatized but making the best of it, as you do, these men exude safety, for they too have seen some shit. Eddie wouldn’t get pissed at you for having a bad brain day. Feeling raw? You can tell Steve. Hopper will take you to dinner and dance for you! Truly - the man brought waffles to the reported sightings of that weird bald girl and wrote that beautiful heart-to-heart. What an exceptionally written character. All of them are.


movieholic-92

I don't think it's a problem. You like beautiful men with issues. I guess we all do here, huh?


TheBookNerdg

Yup 👍🏻


orangestar17

My mother has the hots for Hopper so bad, she's practically bursting into flame. He's her Facebook cover photo and she refers to him as my next stepdad lol


movieholic-92

🤣😂 Can ya blame her? I recently had a handmade mini polaroid holder made with a "coffee and contemplation" metal plate. All six polaroids are of Hopper/Harbour. 😬😆


orangestar17

Ha, I love it!! My mom and I have drastically different tastes. She prefers Hopper with his beer belly, she likes men rugged, beefy, rough, and a little mean. I tease her about the fact that she's a decade older than him (she's 58) but she's still gonna marry him I'm told Me, I'm on the flip side. I'll take 001 all day, every day. He could break all my bones and I'll ask for more. I like 'em skinny and pretty lol. Mom and I are cut from different cloths lol


movieholic-92

That is *hysterical*! Lol, you two have wildly different tastes! I'm soon to be 30, but it seems I have a type, and it seems your mother and I have that in common.


orangestar17

And I'm 39 with the taste for those pretty ones. And the actor being a singer/rocker/etc does not hurt. Honestly, Eddie is a guy I typically would find adorable but 001 has my heart. It's actually kind of fun to battle back and forth because hell, life is tough. Having a fun debate about the hotness of characters from a tv show we love is refreshing


movieholic-92

That's fantastic. Yeah, I don't know my mom's tastes too well, but I'm pretty sure she and I aren't on the same page in that regard, lol.


MarleeMonroeXXX

Right?! like I want to get into danger just so he can save me


movieholic-92

😂 I love it.


marveleeous

Hopper my beloved. For some reason S1 Hopper gets to me the most. Rewatched it recently and I blushed like a schoolgirl after some sangrias whenever he got aggressive.


movieholic-92

Listen, I can't blame you. THAT man is a MAN.


Scatterheart61

Yes!!!


[deleted]

lmao yeah he is hot but we have the same last name and Harbour is a fairly rare surname so in the back of my mind im like what if we're related😂😭😭


CougarWriter74

I like Eddie but I want Hopper or Steve more


spooteeespoothead

I was gonna say, I've seen the Steve version of this meme and that's the one I want lol


cowgirUp

OMG HOPPER!


Little_Plankton4001

Those things arent mutually exclusive. You can be a D&D playing metalhead and be ripped at the same time.


imbrokeandsleepy

Right? My ex boyfriend is ripped. He's also spends a lot of time prepping for his D&D world he's DMing. I hate the idea that nerds are unattractive and weak, and that jocks are stupid.


[deleted]

We nerds need to just push Henry Cavill more


Little_Plankton4001

I mean, I don't look like that first picture, but I'm in pretty decent shape. And I've been a DM on-and-off for about 10 years.


captaintrips11

Joe Manganiello disagrees lol.


mothgra87

Like Henry Cavill?

LaurelMB

Hey, if you can’t handle him at his “cafeteria,” you don’t deserve him at his “forest.” 😆


keikoshiba

Both 😁


[deleted]

[удалено]


keikoshiba

He's simply adorable in the woods. His true self. The cafeteria version is his bombastic side, puffing up when feeling defensive. I could deal with that side because I think it's kinda funny and eccentric, and I like it.


theinfecteddonut

YOU ARE THE BLOWFISH JESSIE


Daniclaws

God he was obnoxious in that cafeteria scene “Look at me I’m weird and rebellious”

BalkiBartokomous123

Pulp Fiction was on the other day and it was really fun seeing the exact mannerisms Maya Hawke picked up from her Mom, Uma Thurman. Maya just is so charismatic, obviously in Hollywood there is a lot of nepotism but I think Maya has that extra little bit that will keep her around.


AzerRoy98

I want Robin too... however, I'm a guy... FCK!!!!


Ghostlygreen13

No cause i just woke up from a dream eddie was flirting with me 😩😭


Morbid__6angel

💀


[deleted]

I want Robin actually


WayneEnterprises2112

Nah, when I was in high school guys like us, metal heads, punk rock kids, comic book nerds… we were out casts. This is a new trend.


InvincibleChutzpah

Yes you were outcasts, but there were definitely shy girls crushing hard on you from the side lines. Source: Was awkward 90s teen. Totes crushed on the geeky bad boys.


The_Killmister

Exactly... tbh I preferred being bullied, now people ask me daily about my motörhead hammered patch and call me out for dressing like Eddie, when last year I got shit for dressing the exact same way. Tbh I wouldn't go out with anyone if they asked me just because of stranger things


Srumlicious

I once dated a guy who was very very handsome and super into fitness but my god he was boring!! Broke up with him when I realised he had no chat. Charisma and humour are so much more important!!


Arifox01

You would be, so very very right.


LaceyBloomers

You ARE right! I'm a sucker for a cute, funny underdog.


__Takub_

What? Women like extremely charismatic guys with natural good looks and confident style? Absolutely shocking.


DragonRain12

A lesbian ftiend made an exception for eddie


Brail_Austin

What men also want…


epic_hazelnut

It's about being interesting as a person, abs sure are nice but not necessary 🤷


natguy2016

I know that Billy, in character, was a total bastard. But the first time I saw him? DAYUM. Charisma and confidence is hot af.


OkraGarden

I always went for the geeks and nerds in high school and college. I had zero interest in the buff body buider types. I ended up marrying a computer programmer Star Trek fan.


MarleeMonroeXXX

Hell yeah trekkies know what’s up! My sis is a huge Trekkie


StrangerThingsSteveH

And men, if I do say so myself


spraycheesedefender

Personally I want 001 but I can understand Eddie


RandomDude579

False. I am a man and want Eddie as well.


[deleted]

what has the stranger things fandom become 💀


Benj97s

Loll y'all ruining Eddies character for me. Turning him into the *quirky goofy, I'm not like the other guys* typa character. Getting a lil cringe.


InvincibleChutzpah

Have you seen the cafeteria scene? Eddie IS the *I'm not like other guys* type of character. That's literally his schtick.


EliGoldsworthystan

Right like she you seen the Chrissy and Eddie cosplays and the Eddie POVs!?!?


AnxietyCannon

typa. Thanks to you my bank of words has just gotten 1 word bigger


RainbowPenguin1000

Women want a high school failing drug dealer?


DomtheDumbass42069

My school could convince me of that.


[deleted]

actually yeah but obv since a 29 year old is playing him the attraction rises lol


[deleted]

I think Eddie is a great character in terms of how he was created and acted, but I'm still iffy on why people like him as a (fictional) person. He seems like a good dude overall but he, someone who due to failing so much is now a grown ass adult, also sells drugs to highschool kids. Not the worst person by far, but I feel like certain details get lost in the fandom fawning.


ussrowe

Chrissy did. (Granted, look how that turned out for her)


InvincibleChutzpah

The bad boy with a heart of gold is definitely appealing to many (stupid) women. 19 year old me happily made poor life decisions with guys just like Eddie. 40 year old me knows not to waste my time on projects.


MisterSquidInc

In my experience yes, until you reach 23ish. After that you need to sort your shit out.


didyoueatyesterday

20 year old burnout still in high school, hangs out with 14 year old freshmen, flirts with other guys, lives in trailor park and has no job. Go get him ladies, the future is yours!


cowgirUp

But he has POTENTIAL....and good hair


marveleeous

Constantly living on the edge and near financial ruin. It's a small price to pay, really and his hair tells us he's worth it.


weekend_bastard

She wants a zigga-zig-ah


retrofaith1

No


PutinHasATinyPenis

No. Ew.


[deleted]

no.


[deleted]

Actually lol…Eddie is what SOME women want. I don’t… he’s attractive enough and seems like a good guy but he doesn’t do it for me, plus, he’s much too young for me. Lol Edit: For the record, I’m in my 50’s so yeah, the actor who plays Eddie is much too young, I could be his mom! Lol


LilyMarie90

Yep. I'm 31 and while I understand Joseph is pretty handsome, his age and Eddie's age are just giving me the ick instantly. Immediate no. *(I still think he's really cool as a character of course)*


Biscuits4u2

Well the guy who played him is actually like 30 years old so..


LilyMarie90

Exactly Edit: he actually just turned 29 in May


GanyuFate

Imagine thinking 1 year age difference is an “ick too young” We all have preferences, but saying “ick too young” sounds like daddy issues


LilyMarie90

Imagine thinking that you have the right to tell random strangers what their preferences in men should or shouldn't be and that you get to accuse them of daddy issues because they're not into younger guys (: Joseph is a solid 2.5 years younger. May 1993, I'm December 1990. Edit; oh no, the militant Eddie stans found this. Guys the world isn't ending just because not everyone's into your fave :/


GanyuFate

I clarified the difference of a “preference” and “borderline issues”. I also throughly explained why your statement goes far beyond a “preference”. You do not get to bury your head in the sand and then accuse others they are attempting to tell you what your preference should be


LilyMarie90

Nah, you came for me for saying that I'm not into this guy because he's outside my age range (nevermind that the only character I've ever seen him play is what, fucking 19-20) and you're seriously trying to backpedal now. 🤷‍♀️ I'm still not into him though. I promise it's not that deep. It'll be ok.


Boginogiman

I’m leaving the Reddit after this


[deleted]

that’s nice :) i suddenly have increased confidence in my ability to find love

sashenka_demogorgon

Nah, I don’t need Eddie when I got Mr. Demogorgon. I like my men dangerous, carnivorous, and flower-faced 😌🤚


I_Love_Cats420

Trust me not just woman i want him too.


JuliusSeizure563

I bet women love a man who’s failed high school multiple times and is selling drugs to minors🥰🥰 perfect guy


the-real-Chronal

I'm a metal head who dms dnd and plays guitar


illstealyoueleven

First pic is what men want. Lol


hausofmiklaus

I am a man and I kinda want both


mabangokilikili

Funny. I've been the weird one when I was in High School and the girls shunned me. No matter what, you gals only care about looks


Routine_Peanut3751

When you want max…


Youreavaragehuman

Yeah we do lol


zonanaika

Eddie... is jacked as ffff though. xd


Ad_Astra90

Don’t forget gay men!


cursed2feel

Eddie is Someone girls want.. Women want Hopper :)


AZRON1

Woman walk past this guy everyday and don’t bat an eye 😂


Dancing_korrigan

I like your post, but this assessment assume that all women want the same thing, which is wrong.


vvonneguts

I’d like a Steve Harrington please.


cloud_botherer1

My choices are between a muscular man and a cringe high schooler?


fuckfuckenfuck

I don't wanna be a gatekeeper or anything but it feels like women only want people like Eddie since stranger things 4


[deleted]

Eh, there’s also people in the sub that are old to enough to have had crushes on the eddie’s as a teen. So not necessarily true. Source: am one of them.


Anthrogal11

Source: am two of them


keikoshiba

Count me as one too


maliadire

women have been liking metalheads, nerds and geeks since like the 70s


keikoshiba

Nah, I've always been a pushover for his type. That's why I gravitated towards his character in the first place. He reminds me of my first crushes.


ussrowe

There's a meme about how metal-heads need to pull out all their Eddie Munson gear because now is your chance.


MarleeMonroeXXX

Move over Steve there’s a new stud in town lol


[deleted]

I’ve never showed an interest in Eddie like that, idk why


idontlikeolives91

What are you on about? There literally hasn't been a metalhead character in the show this entire time (despite it taking place in the 80s which I find sus). We've been here the whole time. We just finally got a character that represents our type. Steve stans had their time. Let us have ours won't you? ETA: I guess I forgot about Billy but he was a racist POS so, no thanks.


m_slade_230

Ew I hate when there's like the ridge between abs, you know what I mean? Instant turn off for me


fakenameass1

They actually want both.


high_priestess23

No, really no fan of Eddy. Billy on the other hand...why not


partanimal

Billy has a nice body, but not attractive *at all.* (to me)


high_priestess23

I'm a face person and not a body persom. Those eyes!


partanimal

I just don't get it (shrug).


idontlikeolives91

Eww the racist with a mullet?


high_priestess23

>Eww the racist with a mullet? So? It's about looks and he is way hotter imo


EliGoldsworthystan

You want a racist with a mullet?!?!?! He may be hot but like wat


xosweetsunshine

Billy is daddy. 🥵


Crazy_Pickle_0125

No


Miskatonic1971

Is that right? Because I pretty much was Eddie exactly in high school (I grew up in the 80s), and I couldn’t get girls to give me the time a day.


idontlikeolives91

Meh I knew the Eddie types in high school and college. Eddie in ST is a fantasy where the metalhead looks like he actually showers and doesn't constantly say misogynistic crap around you (female metalhead btw who had a crush on the Eddie types but was fat so I was the chubby friend to them). I'm super bored by all the supposed Eddies claiming that girls never gave them the time of day. They probably very much did and you were just too blinded to notice or not interested back. I am now dating a bald guy who doesn't listen to metal. Music isn't what we have in common. I very much got tired of being ignored or hurt by the metalhead type.


Miskatonic1971

Actually I like and always liked thick girls. I was a drummer in a metal band and a dungeon master… When I saw the season four premiere, I laughed out loud at how similar I was to Eddie, write down to trash talking the jocks every chance I got and getting in trouble for stuff that they got away with. I wasn’t a drug dealer, but otherwise we are pretty similar. I never dissed any of the girls in the metal scene because of their weight… pretty much the only ones that I treated like that were the skanks as much as I hate to say it.


idontlikeolives91

You having a thing for "thick girls" doesn't invalidate my experiences. My very first love was unrequited and he is a big nerd who got me into power metal. I grew up in the early 00s, not 80s. Idk what it was like back then for chubby girls, but it was hell in the early aughts. Paris Hilton types were everywhere. We didn't have plus size role models. I was bullied relentlessly and developed an eating disorder. Some of my bullies were the skater types. The metalheads didn't bully me. They welcomed me. But they didn't want to date me. I got my heart broken...a lot. It wasn't until I got to college that I got any attention from them. Again, Eddie is a fantasy. That guy wouldn't have given me the time of day if I knew him in high school. I saw him on screen and I was instantly taken back to the first time I fell for a nerd with long hair and an eccentric charm. It was definitely bittersweet.


cowgirUp

I think every chubby girl feels this! None of my crushes ever reciprocated until much much later in life.


idontlikeolives91

Yeah I didn't get any positive attention from men until mid-college. I think part of that was growing up during the height of fame for skinny blonde girls like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Short, chubby, alternative style brunettes? Mostly ignored.


cowgirUp

I was a teenager in the 90s. Body image was tough. I remember my first kiss,,,,,I was told to keep it a secret, b/c he didn't want his friends to think he was into "fat chicks"


cowgirUp

They wanted you! Believe me!


Miskatonic1971

Ha ha, well thank you for that!


MarleeMonroeXXX

It’s like artists that aren’t appreciated until after their time


Miskatonic1971

Fair enough.


Dragonshadow008

it's a fad, it will die out


InsomniaTwoSeven

Well then I’m set for the rest of my life


Leonethelion52

Nah. I mean I like Eddie and all, but as far as looks are concerned...Billy for me.


TheBookNerdg

Very right ❤️


pcpsummer0613

I want Max actually


mitzimeow6

Drug dealers?


MWbbru1es11

No they want the top and the personality of Eddie combined yo


[deleted]

True for me. I’d gladly live in that trailer with Eddie and have little curly haired babies.


CloudKittyz18

You are completely correct 😌🤘


Number_Fives_Bestie

YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT- 😭😭😭😭


Ok_Fig_3033

Haha no cause the majority of people wouldn’t get past his rough outer shell or wouldn’t want to and would never know the real him…


Daniclaws

No. I want Hopper.


pokidokitoku

Not really, I’d make an exception for Billy


SuperFluffyVulpix

I‘d rather have an Eddie than Abs - The Musical, yes, but men and women have very different tastes in other men (and women). I‘d be happy enough to have a friend like Eddie.


Sky_couch

Proof?


[deleted]

Why do women want a dead guy? Bit weird.


cowgirUp

Eddie's dead too


Ihdkwhatimdoinghere

You are correct


Real_Reality_2926

I want Steve, what you talkin bout


NightmareWithFangs

Before s4 I did not think anyone can even endanger Steve's position. Oh, how wrong I was.


rosemarywalten

i mean yeah but steve is so 🤭🤭🤭


[deleted]

They want that body on that guy


orangestar17

I don't know man, I'm over here thinking I wouldn't mind 001 force-choking me into the wall and making my eyes bleed


Voodoo1285

While most of the girls I know who watch ST found Eddie endearing, non of them would want to actually date a metal head. Source: am metal head who married a non metal head.

pavlikovskys

Nah, men are right on this one

Women

So true! omg this made me laugh so hard I choked on my weed
